Wheel repair/refinishing?

Should I attempt to polish and re-clear this myself? I'd love to clean these up and get them back on the car. Most of this damage was from 2 months of winter driving, plus Ohio construction season. They've been sitting in my garage for ~2+ years since.

Thanks.

Any suggestions to get them back to "like new"? I'd really hate to see wheels go to scrap after only 25k miles.

Is there a company called Wheel Wizard in your area?
We use them here at both ASC, Inc. and at the Dealership I work at.
They are a franchise that comes to you and can repair, recoat or re-paint wheels with very good results, they can also straighten if neccessary.

I have a friend that bought a kit (don't know where) and re-did all four of his wheels. 'They looked like new'. The kit came with something to eat off the old clearcoat and cleaners and a couple cans of clearcoat. This was over 15 years ago, so i know kits are out there but i haven't looked for any so i don't where to find them to buy
